I'll Drink to That!What is your favorite beverage to have with a cigar? Juice? Cola? Beer? Port? Single Malt Scotch? This room is for the discussion of beverages, especially alcoholic beverages that go well with cigars!

latest offering from Diageo's Orphan Barrel brand... a 25 year old Canadian from Crown Royal's Gimli distillery. No rye, so not a typical Canadian whiskey. At the price it may be a while before I open the bottle. Supposed to be much like a mature Scottish grain whiskey

As a side-note, some bottles of Crown Royal from way back (I have one dated 1958) actually stipulated that they were blends of whiskies between 10 and 30 years of age. And the constituent whiskies were sourced from multiple distilling sites then still operational during the Seagram era (pre-Gimli). Those times are, alas, long gone.

Last yearI bought a bottle of Seagram Canadian distilled February 1958 = it allows me to drink something older than myself for a while
